⭐️ ‘On Golden Pond’ - Thompson’s award winning play that reminds us it is never too late to say what matters most. • Ernest Thompson’s enduring masterwork returns to the stage in a production that feels tailor-made for Big Bear Lake. Set at a summer cottage on a shimmering New England lake, ‘On Golden Pond’ follows Norman and Ethel Thayer to their summer on the lake, a life long tradition that sparks poignant memories, quick witted humor and the tenderness of a long-overdue family reconciliation. 🎟️ Get tickets and experience the magic of live theatre bigbeartheatreproject.org On Golden Pond Written by Ernest Thompson Directed by Beth Wheat Scenic Design by Joel Daavid 📅 June 18 - 28, 2026 📍 Big Bear Lake Performing Arts Center #OnGoldenPond #BigBearTheatre #LiveTheatre #SoCalEvents #TheatreLovers

Honoring the bits and pieces of peace as it comes..

A tale of love for nature and innocence. The Legend of Liam The Leprechaun available at bookshop.org, the best source for books! 🍀

Last night we experienced fierce winds. Snow drifts are crazy. Grateful for just a brief power outage and that we awakened to plowed streets. Thanks to the people working hard to keep us safe.

And this is just the beginning…
